Killer Mints?

A father died from a massive caffeine overdose after eating mints bought from his local sweet shop

More to the story I suspect, but is it wise to have these "sweets" on sale?

Most definately not IMO.

Liver disease meant his body couldn't break down caffeine properly

There we have it

Also

The inquest did not hear exactly how many mints Mr Jackson ate, but the mint’s manufacturers claim he would have to eat more than 300 mints to have the levels of caffeine he had in his blood.

300 tablets probably refers to a normal liver, which would have filtered some of that content, but as he had cirrhosis of the liver, that didn't happen (I assume).
